Daughter Sara and I made the front page and the feature story of the MARIETTA DAILY JOURNAL for our duo performances at the Strand, Marietta Square, summer of 2015. Hope to make a return appearance this summer! Thanks to old friend, Therra Gwynn for promoting us!

Premiered my new one woman show on Rosalynn Carter and the Monarch Butterfly Trail at the recent Chatauqua in Plains in October, 2015 with the Carters in attendance.  Received a standing ovation and praise from the Carters.  Not so easy playing someone in front of that person, and an icon at that.  The Carters are uniquely special and a treasure to us as Americans.  Will be repeating this show and hope to take it on the road.  See some photos below.

NEW 2015/2016 School program:  MARY MCLEOD BETHUNE:  BUILDING ON A DREAM with Mama Koku, booked through me. For third grade audiences.  Premiered in October to rave reviews.  Mama Koku is Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune revisited.

The passing of the torch….Daughter Sara Gaare is now playing Anne Frank.  I’ve retired from doing this show and portraying a 13-15 year old!  She’s a great success, performing at both Teaching Museums, North and South.

Passing it on–mother to daughter. Sara Gaare as the new Anne Frank.

Doing the Teddy Bear Tea at Historic Oakland Cemetery’s Sunday in the Park, October 2015. Always one of my favorite things to do.
